[CORMATIN, Pierre Marie Félicité Dezoteux de]. Travels of The Duke De Chatelet, in Portugal. Comprehending Interesting Particulars relative to the Colonies; the Earthquake of Lisbon; the Marquis de Pombal, and the Court. London: J. J. Stockdale. 1809.

8vo. Two volumes in one. Slightly later Portuguese diced calf, expertly rebacked, original gilt-tooled spine preserved; pp. viii, [17]-295; 244, [20, general index] (collation conforms with the one given by the National Library of Portugal); large folding map of Portugal, frontispiece to vol.II with view of the Bay of Lisbon; rubbing to extremities, foxing to map and preliminaries and frontispiece of vol.II, else a very good copy; provenance: engraved bookplate of H. Silvester inside front cover.

Very rare first English edition, translated from the French (first, 1798) and updated by J. Fr. Bourgoing. The author Baron de Cormatin was a French officer and supporter of the Revolution who placed his manuscript in the library of the Duc de Chatelet, which led to confusion about the authorship. The work is a complete topography of the motherland and the Portuguese colonies on the other side of the Atlantic. Information on Portugal was much in demand in Britain, due to the Peninsular War (the decisive second battle of Porto ended with an Anglo-Portuguese victory in May 1809), trade relations and the settlement of the entire court of Lisbon in Brazil, which made Rio de Janeiro the capital of Portugal from 1808 until 1821, and opened up important trade for Britain with the largest country in Latin America.

Provenance: We believe that this copy belonged to a member of the family of the naval officer Sir Philip Carteret, second baronet Silvester (1777–1828), who in 1812 was stationed in Lisbon onboard the 46-gun frigate Pomone.

Abbey, Travel, 220; See Borba De Moraes p. 179 for the French edition on 1797 only ('a classic work'); COPAC locates merely three copies in Britain, at the National Trust, King's College and in the BL.

Spacious Storage
Color: White, Size: 2 Layer
Excellent quality and spacious storage. I bought this because I had a plastic makeup organizer. My husband complained about me making a racket when I am putting my makeup because the makeup tools makes a loud noise when I put them back in the plastic organizer. I thought I'll buy a leather one so it wouldn't be so noisy. It's magic. No more complains from my hubby. In addition, I was impressed with the quality of this organizer. Beautiful and plenty of storage.

Wife Says It’s a Total Game Changer for Organization
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Layer
Got this for my wife and she said it’s a total game changer. She loves it. It cleaned up her whole vanity setup and made everything way easier to find. There’s a ton of space, so all her makeup finally has a place instead of being spread out everywhere. She especially likes how organized it keeps everything while still looking clean and nice on the counter. Build quality feels solid and it looks more high-end than I expected. Not flimsy at all, which was a big plus. Overall, definitely worth it. If you’re trying to get things organized without it looking cluttered, this does the job really well. Solid husband points

Elegant, durable PU leather organizer—large capacity, smooth drawers, and stylish vanity design.
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Layer
This Vlando Makeup Organizer is both beautiful and functional! The PU leather finish gives it a classy, elegant look and makes it super easy to wipe clean—perfect for everyday use. It’s very sturdy and well-built, with drawers that open and close smoothly without sticking. The size is just right—large enough to fit all my skincare, makeup, and accessories, but compact enough to sit neatly on a vanity or dresser without taking up too much space. The organization layout is excellent—deep drawers for bulkier items and smaller compartments up top for brushes, lipsticks, and perfumes. Everything feels well thought out and perfectly balanced. For the quality and style you get, it’s definitely great value for the money. It fits beautifully into any room setup and keeps everything looking tidy and organized!
